Silliness!

Just a couple of cute (well, cute to me) things I want to remember...

When we ask Reid, "Where's the ____?", he always hides whatever it is behind his back.  He loves doing this!  Today I had a few animal puzzle pieces out and asked, "Where's the giraffe?" because I wanted him to show me which of the pieces was the giraffe.  He picked the correct one up and then hid it.  I guess I should start saying, "Show me the ___" when I want him to identify an animal and ask "Where is the ___?" when I want him to hide it.  Kids are so literal! ;) 

Reid's other newly discovered activity is throwing things out the doggie door.  Fun times! :)  A couple of mornings ago I was looking for the remote and couldn't find it.  We found it that evening when we went outside! :) He threw Grandpa's cell phone out there yesterday.  Today he was caught red handed throwing his yogurt bites outside!  Silly boy! 

We are having a busy week around here!  Happy Wednesday! 

The Day of the Merry-Go-Round

Yesterday I had to take Reid to the pediatrician for one of his vaccines.  Our pediatrician's office is right by the mall and also very close to Chris' office, so we got to have a fun weekday lunch with him at California Pizza Kitchen! Coincidentally my mom and one of her friends happened to walk in right after we sat down, so we got to have lunch with them too!  I took Reid to ride the merry-go-round in the mall before lunch while we were waiting on Chris to meet us.  I think he liked it!  I, on the other hand, felt dizzy and sick the whole time!  How pitiful!  

 One of my mom's friends had tickets to a Sugar Land Skeeters game that they weren't using, so Reid got to go to his first sporting event last night!  It also happened to be Aggie night!  The new head coach was there and so was Reveille!  

 I am sad that this picture is blurry.  Popsie was telling Reid all about baseball. :) 

 It's hard to see, but Reid got to meet Reveille! :) 

 The baseball park is really neat!  There is a whole kids area with a merry-go-round, a huge playground, and even a swimming pool!  We took Reid to ride the merry-go-round (twice), which brought his merry-go-round riding total to three for the day. 

 The seats were at a table and there was lots of room around us, which worked out well for a baby!  Reid spent most of the game playing with plastic spoons.  

 Just working on his fine motor skills...

It was a fun day!  

July 4th

Happy Fourth of July!  We spent yesterday at Mumsie and Popsie's house!  After a yummy lunch and some good pool time, we headed over to our friend's house for a fun get together!  

This was Reid last year! :) 

 sweet babies :) 

I wish every Wednesday was a holiday!  It sure was nice to have a little break in the middle of the week! :) 

Spaghetti Night

We decided to introduce the fork tonight.  

 He thought it was too much trouble!  Hands are easier!  

 "Do I have something on my face?"  

 We wheeled him into the bathroom for a bath!  

 So happy!  

lazy weekend

We have been out of town for the last few weekends, so we were really excited to have a relaxed weekend at home!  It's been cloudy and rainy, which makes for the perfect lazy weekend!  

On Friday night we went to El Jarrito!  It had been a few weeks and we'd been missing it! :) 

Most of Saturday was spent converting our dining room into a playroom!  Our dining room has remained incomplete and unfinished since we moved in 6 years ago, so we figured we might as well make good use of the space for now!  We had an extra couch that was being stored in a spare bedroom, so we moved that into the dining room and bought a rug.  Reid's Popsie built him a great shelf for his toys!  I want to add a few things to the walls soon and get some cute pillows for the couch.  It isn't very colorful and childish looking, but it's also the first room people see when the come in our house.  I think it would be fun to have a house with a gameroom someday that we can make really happy and bright!  I am glad to have most of the toys out of our living room!  

 On Saturday night the three of us went to Red Lobster.  We found a gift card that Chris got from work in 2008 and figured we should use it!  We ended up being there for 2 hours.  It was SO SLOW. Reid was such a good boy and didn't even make a peep (mainly because he was being fed a million cheerios and yogurt bites).  

 To pass the time, we decided to let him try using crayons!  He liked coloring when he wasn't snacking on them! 

 His first piece of artwork! :) 

My little curly boy loves his bath!

We started brushing his teeth with baby toothpaste a couple of nights ago.  Right now we just do it in the tub! :) 

This morning we went to church and Reid went to the nursery for a little while.  He did much better this time than the last time we tried it.

 Reid enjoyed playing in his new playroom after church!  

 This afternoon Mumsie, Popsie, Auntie Alli, and Uncle Thomas stopped by to play!  Alli got Reid this super fun water table for his birthday, so we finally let him try it out!  He had so much fun!  I know this will provide us a lot of entertainment this summer!  

 Reid went on a little wagon ride with Popsie!  

 We love lazy weekends! :)
